Webhelp is committed to the quality of its remote medical secretarial services

It’s imperative that a medical office has confidence in its remote secretarial services. That’s why Webhelp has strict rules for recruitment and training.

Recruiting our medical switchboard operators

Since the remote switchboard operator is representing the medical office, they must be courteous, polite, empathetic, and have great interpersonal skills.

Spelling is extremely significant when it involves writing medical letters and reports. That’s why Webhelp requires that its outsourced medical secretaries have a perfect command of both written and spoken French.

Beyond introductory training on written and oral expression, remote secretaries are trained on medical specifics – this allows them to identify emergency situations in particular.

Training on handling calls and scheduling online appointments includes training on tools, simulated calls, and role-playing.

To become remote medical secretaries, they are trained on:

Medical specialties and the vocabulary unique to each specialisation,

The French medical environment.

The medical secretary handles many tasks and must meet the practitioner’s and patients’ expectations.

Particular attention is paid to their ability to react. They are specially trained to identify emergency situations and can transfer the call to a doctor for priority treatment.

Following instructions is the second point of priority in this situation. Remote secretaries manage calls to the office on behalf of the doctor, according to instructions defined in advance. As a result, they are extremely aware of projecting the image of a health professional.

A shared calendar for doctor’s appointments

Appointment-making on a shared calendar is one of the assets of our medical answering service. Updated by secretaries and shared by practitioners who can access it at any time, patients can even add appointments to the calendar online.

Webhelp’s medical answering service is paired with a shared online calendar solution, which allows remote medical secretaries to make appointments for the doctors directly. Practitioners or their secretaries can check changes to their schedule online from their smartphone if they’re out of the office.

Our professional calendar software offers a function that allows patients to schedule their appointments directly on the internet. Appointments that patients make online from their account are automatically integrated into the shared online calendar without needing approval from the doctor.
